If you want to extract information from a website without using selenium, you can achieve that easily with BeautifulSoup. Here is the code snippet:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
r = requests.get('https://www.livecareer.com/resume-search/search?jt=software%20engineer').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(r, 'html.parser')
ul = soup.find('ul', class_='resume-list list-unstyled')
li_items = ul.find_all('li')[1:]
links = []
for li in li_items:
links.append('https://www.livecareer.com/' + li.a['href'])
skills = []
for link in links:
r = requests.get(link).text
soup = BeautifulSoup(r, 'html.parser')
div = soup.find('div', class_='field singlecolumn')
skills.append(div.text)
print(skills)
Output:

You can also organize the data in a DataFrame for better readability by incorporating these lines into your code:
dictionary = {'Links': links,
'Skills': skills}
df = pd.DataFrame(dictionary)
print(df)

I hope this information proves useful!
Just a thought to consider...
When using chrome, simply follow these steps:
Now, craft your own xpath expression that will uniquely identify the desired page object.
For example:
//a[contains(text(), 'my text')]
//div[@id='myDivID']
It's important to manually create your xpath and avoid using the "Copy Xpath" option as it can generate overly complex paths like the one below, which are prone to breaking:
//*[@id="wrapper"]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/aside[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/a
If you're unfamiliar with writing xpath, refer to this resource for guidance: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_intro.asp
An issue to note is that the text is currently within a div tag when it should ideally be enclosed in a span. You could attempt the following xpath:
//div[@class='field singlecolumn']/text()
If you're looking to find the XPath of an html element, you can make use of your browser's Developer Tools. The guide below is specific to Chrome, but similar steps apply to other browsers as well:
An issue you may face when scraping these pages is that your target could potentially move around between visits. User-generated documents often have varying layouts, causing the XPath to differ and requiring a more advanced approach (such as jQuery, Selenium, Cypress) to search based on text content or navigate between parent/child elements.
